The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 258 Mutation
Arnold felt that the muscles on his arms, back, and waist were no longer his own. They were so numb. In the short time from the half-orc's charge to the stagnation, he commanded his archers to quickly shoot ten waves of arrows. , Piece after piece of enemies died under the sharp arrows.

It's just that now he has to give the order to stop shooting, even if the enemy is standing still not far away, because continuing to pull the bowstring is likely to lose the muscles of the soldiers, making them directly lose their fighting ability and become a burden on the battlefield .

The elven longbow His Majesty equipped them can be said to be good for anything, with a long range and easy maintenance. In this heavy rain, the arrows shot still have strong strength and very good accuracy.

The only problem is that the force required to pull the bowstring is too high. The strong bow in his hand is like a wild horse that is difficult to tame. Every shot requires Arnold to do his best.

Arnold also knew that this was a weapon designed by the elves to serve him. He was also lucky enough to see the battle scene of the elf prince, and it was as easy as dancing.In any case, it is impossible for him to reach that level in his life.

However, Arnold, who used to be a Rhodok sharpshooter, also visited Mr. James, the most skilled doctor in Fislet, in order to restore the strength of his arm as soon as possible, and then learned some massage techniques, and then taught him All archers.

Arnold is different from his younger brother Arnold. As the captain of the archers, he resolutely gave up using the crossbow, and spent a lot of time improving his bow skills. He believes that it is better to use the same weapon as his subordinates. A better understanding of the actual situation of the subordinates, so as to make the correct command.

It is precisely because of this due diligence that whenever the archers are needed, the king of Rovanian will order Arnold to be the commander of the archers. If he unfortunately dies, it will be the turn of another captain to continue to command .

Perhaps, after one or two battles, Arnold will take over the position left by Bundak and become the new shooter commander. At least, there are already such rumors among the soldiers.

Arnold didn't think too much about this rumor. "Be loyal to His Majesty and do your best" is probably his life creed at this time, but as His Majesty, he was promoted from captain to head, then from head to lord, and finally became His Majesty the King.

During this process, Arnold's identity is constantly changing.

More than a decade ago, Arnold and his younger brother were just idiots farming for the elders in the village, but now, he owns his own house in the center of Feisleite, married a beautiful and virtuous wife, and has A well-paid and very decent job, and in response to the cabinet's call, gave birth to two boys and a girl. The eldest son has reached the right age and has begun to enter school for education.

Arnold is very satisfied with his current life. If he is still in Rhodok, then he will never have such a life in his life. In order to keep this happiness, Arnold is willing to sacrifice his life for his king.

At this time, Arnold kept rubbing his numb muscles through the hard scales, staring at the wolf cavalry jumping and jumping on the western hillside. As one of the few officers in Rovanian, he Having received barely systematic tactical instruction, he knew that the approach of wolf cavalry would definitely break the current calm situation.

Thinking of this, his movements of squeezing his muscles became faster. He needed to recover his strength as soon as possible, because once the half-orcs charged, the archers led by him had only one choice, which was to draw out the short sword in his waist and mix in with the infantry. Cover the flanks of the entire formation in the formation.

If there is a suitable battlefield environment, he can actually choose to break away from the protection of the large army, wander to any side of the battlefield, and launch a flank attack on the enemy who is entangled with the infantry. It's just that this kind of operation was covered by cavalry in the past. Now But there is no such condition.

At this time, if the strength of the arm can be restored by one point, then the next attack on the enemy will be stronger by one point.

Soon, the howling of the wolf cavalry was getting closer and closer. The strange rocks and low slopes on the hillside did not hinder the dexterous wolf at all. As these vigorous and black creatures approached, a huge shadow came from squeezed out of the gap between the mountains.

"Trolls!!"

An exclamation came out of Arnold's mouth, and he immediately closed his mouth. If he, as an officer, showed panic, the blow to morale would be too great.

However, Arnold wasn't the only one who recognized the enemy who suddenly appeared on the hillside. Although he didn't see many of them, a large part of the soldiers present had participated in the Battle of Lonely Mountain ten years ago. among the ranks.

Even Duvalin, who was standing at the front of the team, and his several dwarf companions showed nervous expressions on their faces, because there was not only one huge monster covered with moss and scales, but twenty or thirty of them.

Their bony right hands held a terrifyingly huge wooden club, and their left arm was tied with a crude wooden shield. Enough to resist the penetration of any bow and arrow.

Obviously, these pain-resistant monsters had suffered enough from the elf bows and arrows in the past battles, so their leaders worked hard before the raid to prepare these trolls for long-range attacks.

And this is also Lagash's biggest reliance for launching this raid. His original plan was to let the half-orcs entangle with humans first, and then send ogres to break through the formation, so that they would be caught off guard. He just planned to be suddenly released by the human leader. destroyed, forcing Lagash to send trolls to break the current deadlock.

Allen, who still lacked strength in his body, watched the ogre begin to mix into the formation of orcs, and his face also showed a dignified expression. His most elite subordinates were the twilight knights and elf rangers. Being alert in the mountains, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in time to deal with the current situation.

As for Alan's own abilities, only chain lightning can paralyze trolls to a certain extent. The lethality of flames is extremely weak against this kind of monster that hardly feels pain. Even if Alan's flames are not affected by rain, I'm afraid It is also difficult to deal with this huge monster that suddenly appeared.

It may even be counterproductive. Imagine a huge monster covered in flames, rushing in front of your eyes with a strange force that ordinary people can't resist. Most soldiers can't deal with such a situation.

The energy of the chain lightning will be shared by the half-orcs around the trolls, and without the cooperation of elite soldiers, it will be difficult for Allen alone to solve these trolls in a short time.

"Woo~~ha~~" "Aww"

With the reinforcements of the trolls, the half-orcs, who were still very nervous at first, let out hoarse and unpleasant cheers, and the wide crescent-shaped front began to approach one after another under the urging of the howling wolves, and the half-orcs moved faster and faster. It came faster and faster, and a rain of arrows covered the area where the trolls were at while the orcs were advancing.

A large number of orcs died under the attack of the arrow rain, but even the weapons made by the elves could not penetrate the thick wooden shield, and the arrows nailed the troll's arms and legs covered with moss and scales. , causing these monsters to roar under attack.

Instead of screaming out of pain, they felt challenged.

"Everyone take bows and arrows, aim at the trolls, and kill them."

As soon as the trolls appeared, Arnold gave the order to prepare to shoot, but this could not prevent the enemy from approaching at all. The dark army of orcs was getting closer and closer to the soldiers waiting in full force.

"You are the most elite fighters in Rovanian. No matter what appears in front of you, you must stick to this front. At this time, His Majesty the King is with us."

Gail's angry voice broke through the crackling of the rain on the armor, and the order to "hold the line" spread throughout the entire infantry team in an instant with the shouts of the officers.

The heavily armored soldiers clenched the large shields in their hands, staring at the huge figure that was getting closer, and sharp spears stretched out from the phalanx as far as possible, aiming at those Approaching shadows.

Looking at the large number of trolls that suddenly appeared, Allen frowned. He guessed that there was a high probability that there would be trolls in the orc army, but he didn't expect that there were so many trolls in the area of ​​the Gray Mountains. monster.

But after thinking about it, this is also in line with the living habits of these guys. Except for the trolls who followed Sauron in Mordor, most other clumsy creations that imitated Ent like to live in areas close to the northern wasteland. The Kingdom of Gema, the Eten Wilderness near the Misty Mountains, must also include the gray mountains that have been most severely eroded by the darkness.

It's just that the appearance of these guys completely disrupted Allen's previous plan. He planned to wait for the orc leader to approach the battlefield, and then summoned the Lion Hunting Knights on the northern hillside to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

Although the hillside to the north is a bit steep, and there are rocks and trees in the middle that hinder the cavalry from speeding up, the equestrian skills of the Swadian knights are barely enough to cope with the geographical environment there. That hillside is also the best place Allen can find, after all, here It is between the mountains, it is not easy to find a place where the cavalry can charge up, and at the same time, it is even more difficult to make the enemy obediently take the bait.

Now, the enemy obediently took the bait, but sent an unexpected force to disrupt Allen's rhythm, and the half-orc leader riding a wolf stood on a boulder far away, Looking at the decisive battle that is about to start, it is not close to the battlefield at all, but it is very life-saving.

Facing such a crisis, Allen couldn't just watch those tall ogres rush into his formation under the cover of half-orcs. Even the phalanx formed by elite dwarf veterans couldn't bear such an impact. It's even worse.

I am afraid that these trolls only need a strong swing to penetrate the infantry phalanx commanded by Gail. At that time, it will be a melee. Facing the orcs who have an absolute advantage in numbers, Allen knows that although the combat effectiveness of his subordinates is already very Not bad, but facing such a situation, I am afraid that there will be no good results.

Thinking of the large number of casualties that might occur to the soldiers following him, Allen kept searching on the hillside behind the orcs, preparing to find a terrain suitable for the cavalry to attack, and directly summoned the Lion Hunting Knights.

At this time, Alan suddenly discovered an unusual place from the corner of his eye. On the hillside covered with dark clouds, a goat with huge curved horns suddenly appeared, and the man sitting on the goat's back It was a sturdy figure in heavy armor and a crown on his head.

The person who came was Ellen's good friend, the son of Selain, and now the king of the mountain, Thorin II.

As Sorin stood firm on the hillside, dense crowds of dwarf knights also appeared under the dark clouds, closely surrounding their king, and then a thunder exploded in the dark clouds, the deafening sound and enough to illuminate the entire area. The lightning in the area attracted the attention of everyone present.

Even the mentally retarded ogre stopped in its tracks and looked behind the rolling thunder.

There were no extra actions, and no inspiring speeches before the battle. Allen just heard the phrase "for the king" faintly amidst the rolling hooves, and saw the dwarf cavalry charging along the hillside like a tide .

Seeing this scene, Allen did not continue to hesitate, and quickly summoned the Knights at the location he had chosen, and directly gave them the order to charge forward, and then the dinar in the simulator vault disappeared with a clatter. Allen blessed all the soldiers behind him with "Rising Flame".

Compared with the members of the Knights who can be supplemented with dinars, Allen still cares more about the soldiers with flesh and blood and families behind them. As long as these soldiers can survive on the battlefield, Allen is willing to pay any price he can bear.

After completing all this in an instant, Allen, wearing the ancient rune armor, pulled out a two-handed sword with a ruby ​​rune from his back.

This is the new weapon Allen just obtained from Pendor Continent. Its exquisite gauntlet is inlaid with a huge ruby, and the fiery red pattern starts from the hilt of the sword and extends all the way to the shining sword. sword tip.

When Alan clenched the long sword with both hands, the fiery red pattern on the sword began to flicker non-stop, and the rainwater that collided with it was evaporated into nothingness in an instant. For a while, Alan's body was shrouded in white mist, and a An order like rumbling thunder sounded from the white mist.

"Soldiers, charge with me!!"
